Triturus carnifex

[discoferret]

Hello everyone, well Ive just received my sexed pair of Triturus carnifex (Italian Crested Newts) a couple of hours ago. They are between 10-12cm long. They have just came out of hibernation so placed them on the land part first. But within 5 mins they were exploring their new home and went for a swim. Will post some pics later.

Good looking beasties you have there. I have always liked their coloring. Not bright but it has a certain depth to it that bright colors can't seem to manage.
